Clink, the glass collided with the table, making a crisp sound.
Ice cubes of different sizes bobbed in the green tea, accompanied by tiny air bubbles.
What’s wrong with him? Lu Yunye stared at the half-processed documents. Ten minutes had passed since he turned on the computer, but he hadn’t even finished reading a single document.
His brain inadvertently brought up the scene just saw. Shi Yi’s bare feet in slippers, the white instep interlaced with light blue blood vessels, and the bruise smeared with medicated oil, which makes it look weak and fragile.
He had grabbed those ankles before, and could easily hold them with one hand. Shi Yi was extremely uncomfortable then, but he couldn’t resist his strength, and could only bite the pillow and cry silently.
Even more was the way he sat in the dining room and ate cautiously. The way he accidentally fell asleep in the waiting hall. And the way he grabbed his arm from time to time…
Feeling a little irritated, Lu Yunye took a sip of the cold tea. The cold liquid slid down his throat, which on the contrary, agitated the fiery emotions in his chest even more.
He simply opened the drawer of the desk, took out a small wooden box, and flipped the buckle, revealing a small jade ring lying on a red velvet cloth.
The jade ring is a bit smaller than ordinary rings, as if it was removed from some kind of pendant, and a bit nondescript.
Holding the jade loop in his palm, the cool touch finally calmed him down.
More than ten years have passed since the small and cute omega in memory smiled sweetly, removed the jade ring from his concentric ring pendant, and handed it to Lu Yunye. “This is my good luck charm. Take it, and you will be happy every day.”
Lu Yunye put the jade ring on his nose and sniffed it. He seemed to be able to smell a sweet peach scent. The little omega’s glands had just developed, and he didn’t know how to control his pheromones. His appearance, scent, and personality combined reminded him of soft cotton candy.
It was like love at first sight. He didn’t know how long he had been looking for that omega, and he didn’t even know what his feelings were, but that kind of heartfelt joy and yearning was nothing he had experienced for many years.
It might not be romantic liking, but was deeper and more precious than liking.
Every time he felt uneasy, he would take out this little jade ring, just like a child’s peace of mind pillow, or a superhero one liked in childhood, it comforted him.
Even if the omega already had a marked partner, Lu Yunye still wanted to meet him and ask how he was doing these years.
He put the jade ring away properly, and pushed it to the innermost layer of the desk. This little thing accompanied him through his schooling, in the army, when he resolved family disputes, and finally became a strong and ruthless alpha in the traditional sense. Only it has seen Lu Yunye’s truest side.
With his thoughts so chaotic, he stopped dealing with important work tasks. Instead, he clicked on his mailbox and saw the invitation letter for the weekend family gathering.
Only then did he remember what Xiao Ting said, asking him to send the invitation letter to his acquaintances.
His mother designed the invitation full of pink bubbles. When the recipient clicks on it, there are two little pigs with wings. Selecting a few friends, he also added Shi Yi to it, before pressing send.
Almost immediately, his phone buzzed with greetings from friends and acquaintances from all walks of life. The Lu family never held meaningless gatherings, and the sudden invitation to close friends could only mean one thing – Lu Yunye, this iron tree, finally blossomed, and the famous school grass1aka most popular guy at school. School flower is used to describe the most popular female (or omega) has an owner.
Dai Xing called directly, but his call was hung up by Lu Yunye, so he indiscriminately bombed the notification window through texts.
[Shuai Dai: ? ? ?]
[Shuai Dai: What’s going on? Is it an announcement?]
[Shuai Dai: Is that the kid from the Shi family? Taking responsibility after sleeping?]
[Shuai Dai: Based on your character, it must be. After all, this is our Major Lu’s first time.]
Lu Yunye’s eyelids twitched. Although Dai Xing seemed unreliable, his mind has always been on the right track when analyzing problems.
When the two of them were training as soldiers before, and the whole process was silent, this person could still direct and aim shells directly onto the opponent’s headquarters.
The expected three-day exercise ended in one night. The commander on the opposite side was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
[Lu Yunye: Yes.]
Although he only sent one word, with his intuition, Dai Xing quickly understood the matter. He successfully hit the target, and continued to bombard questions with undiminished enthusiasm:
[Shuai Dai: That kid from the Shi family is pretty good. Those previous rumors were all released by that bastard Feng Muqing, so I wouldn’t believe them.]
[Shuai Dai: Can you get discounts on Feiyi after getting married? Xia Qian likes his clothes, and I want to buy some.]
With a wooden face, Lu Yunye directly ignored the last two messages. Just as he was about to exit the app, a friend request popped up on WeChat.
[Yi requests to be your friend.]
Click on the note: Mr. Lu, I think we should add WeChat.
This person’s profile picture is the logo of Feiyi, a pigeon drawn with simple strokes.
Lu Yunye raised his eyebrows. His mobile phone number is his WeChat, so it’s not surprising that Shi Yi can find it. But he didn’t expect the other party to take the initiative to add him.
Shi Yi should have received the invitation and had questions about it.
He inquired about Shi Yi through his friends, and was still waiting. He thought of Shi Yi’s quiet and reticent appearance in front of others, not expecting this omega to be quite proactive in private.
However, ten minutes later, Shi Yi did not send any.
Lu Yunye raised his cup and took another sip of tea. The ice cubes had melted away, and a fine layer of water droplets had formed on the cup wall.
Lu Yunye opened WeChat, finished processing the remaining documents, and sent them to the secretary. After a while, more messages flooded in, and Shi Yi’s chat was squeezed to the bottom.
He could only open Shi Yi’s chat box, and then click into Shi Yi’s circle of friends. There was only a single line in it: “Only friends can see the latest activity.”
Lu Yunye withdrew in a dispirited manner, and sent a message.
[Lu Yunye: What’s the matter?]
Thirty minutes later, Lu Yunye read twenty pages of “AO Marriage Collection”.
Shi Yi still did not reply.
Lol. LYY’s dog-like attributes slowly being revealed. 😉
